Shared Web hosting services are inexpensive because they make use of a single physical server to host more than a thousand web sites.

In a dedicated server, your web site rests entirely on a single server. All the resources of the Web server work to keep your web site in good running condition. Unlike virtual servers where a particular technology is used to share the Web server in such a way that each website seems like it has its own virtual server, in the case of a dedicated server, your web site actually has a Web server servicing it.
